Death on the Frontier - Paperback

by Peter Es King (Author)

On Australia's rugged frontier, law and survival walk a thin line. Sergeant Norm Green and his men patrol Hill Top, a settlement of gold seekers, grog shops, and restless drifters. But when word arrives that Inspector John Sefton-head of the undercover branch-has vanished, the barracks are drawn into a web of betrayal, stolen gold, and enemies hiding in plain sight.

As young constable Willie Darkwood learns the hard lessons of loyalty and mistrust, the men must rely on their wits, their comradeship, and uneasy alliances with settlers and strangers alike. From rough bush camps to secret meetings and unexpected wisdom from the land's first custodians, danger lurks at every turn.

Death on the Frontier is a vivid tale of courage and corruption, where mateship is tested, and justice may come at the highest cost.
